Full Monty on ice for Thomas
FORMER Wales rugby captain Gareth Thomas has been unveiled as part of the line-up for ITV’s The
Real Full Monty On Ice.
Former Woman’s Hour presenter Dame Jenni Murray, actress and model Linda Lusardi, actor Jamie Lomas and Love Island star Chris Hughes will also be among the celebrities taking part.
The programme will see the participants strip off and perform an ice skating routine in an effort to increase awareness about cancers which affect intimate areas of the body.
Diversity’s Perri Kiely, actress Hayley Tamaddon, Love Island’s Shaughna Phillips and This Morning’s Zoe Williams will also be among the contestants.
Professional skaters from Dancing On Ice will also join the celebrities to perform in the programme, which is being presented by Ashley Banjo and Coleen Nolan.
Banjo said: “We are so proud of what this show has achieved in reminding people to check themselves for early signs of cancer and we’re going all out this year to get that message across.
“Following lockdown, when far fewer people were getting health checks, now more than ever this message is important.
“Performing on ice will take the challenge to a whole new level - the celebrities won’t know what’s hit them! What could possibly go wrong?”
Nolan said: “I keep saying ‘never again’ to getting my kit off but the response we get from the millions of women who feel empowered to check themselves after the show is incredible, so here we go again!”
The programme will air across two 90-minute specials over the festive period.
